President Donald's Last 5th Friday

And he wasn't even there!

The last 5th Friday of the 2013-14 Rotary Year was held on May 30th at Community Newspapers in South Miami.  Hosted by the Miller Brothers, our own Gloria Burns was responsible for making the party happen.  She is an indispensable part of the inner workings of the Community News' 12 biweekly publications.

In addition to their Coral Gables paper they also publish papers for most of the major municipalities in Miami Dade including South Miami, Pinecrest, Cutler Bay, etc, etc.

Catered by Lovables, 5th Fridays are a social evening that our Club holds at a member's place of business.  It's cocktails, hors d' oeuvres and fellowship  from 6 until 8 p.m. on Friday in any month that has five of them.  May was such a month.

Some 40 Rotarians and their spouses and/or significant others came to the South Miami Headquarters for a tour of what the newspaper business is REALLY like.  And if this is what is real then they have an awfully good time putting out that paper!

Thanks to Graham and Michael Miller and of course to Gloria Burns for providing such an interesting venue for the party.  And thanks as well to Liz Silverman (and Carl) for the awesome party flavors they provide for these events.  

Mark your calendar now for the next 5th Friday.  It will be August 29th.  The location will be disclosed as we draw closer.
